Jazz for aficionados


Jazz for aficionados

I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.

Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.

The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".

"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.

While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.

Enjoy the music.

Jazz if anything, means freedom.   It is the music of freedom of expression and ideals.   So why does it attract so many socialists?

I need answers people.

***** I also believe that the "Jazz Messengers" produced the best groups and best music in the history of modern jazz.*****

an outrageous provocation.

rok,Ayn Rand is in Row 6788 next to the man she wrote love letters to in
6789, Adolf Hitler . (TRUE) Building is VIP # 1 , top floor
in Hell , about hundred yards down from Satan’s Penthouse .

Both beds are set to the VIP only temp 6, 000 F and torture is only 60 times
a minute .
Proof positive it pays to do a good job for your boss !

Also that Satan is merciful , Hitler never  replied to her many letters , he thought she was a nut job .
Even a broken clock is right once a day .

Rok, nobody can ever accuse you of having a dirty mind, you got the cleanest brain of anybody I know; it has been thoroughly washed.

Why don't you send that "social security check" back to the government. Do you use "Medicare"?

Have you ever heard of a "Social Democracy"?
